Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Re: Extending inetOrgPerson's schema to support custom attributes

Francois, Thanks for your quick and helpful reply, I tried what you explained, So I create a new file called 70kevin.ldif and put this into it dn: cn=schema objectClass: top objectClass: inetorgPerson objectClass: subschema attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.2 NAME 'policyNos' DESC 'Policy Num bers for Insured' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121. 1.15 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) objectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.12274.1.1.2.1 NAME 'externalUser' DESC '' SUP inet orgPerson AUXILLARY MAY ( policyNos ) X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) I restarted slapd and I got this warning "Entry "cn=schema" missing attribute "sn" required by object class "inetOrgPerson"" I can see 'externalUser' but when I try to create a new user, it asks me for the policyNos attribute but not the other attributes of inetOrgPerson, when I try to create the object I get an object violation error. I didnt quite understand this part you mentioned , what else could I be missing. <quote>.....and have your users implement both inetOrgPerson and your auxiliary class. </quote> Any ideas ?

So the class itself is not modified. The way the LDIF files are named does not imply you modify a given class. Only the number has a meaning, and this represents the order of the files analysing at the server startup - I am not sure, but I believe that 99users.ldif should not be modified, because it represents a view of the directory schema, and is not a configuration file. Again, I am really not sure, I don't have a fedora instance at home and can't check this - standard classes should not be modified. You should create an auxiliary objectClass containing you custom attribute types, and have your users implement both inetOrgPerson and your auxiliary class. This can also be a way to determine if a given user is configured for our application or not (if it implements your aux class or not) To achieve this, you should create a file named, for example, 70kevin.ldif and put all your custom schema in it. Then start your server. Regards, François 2006/9/25, kevin james < kevinjj33(a)yahoo.com&gt;: Oops I pressed the enter key and the mail got sent, Yahoo Beta Mail is too Ajaxified :) These were the lines I added to the bottom of the 99users.ldif My custom attribute being called "policyNos" attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.2 NAME 'policyNos' DESC 'Policy Numbers for Insured' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) I was able to restart slapd with no problems, but it still doesnt show up in my list of attrbutes for inetOrgPerson. Again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I 've been doing some googling and I understand that modifications need to be done to the 99users.ldif file, I've tried a couple of settings but I'm unable to see my custom attributes show up in the list of schema attributes for the inetOrgPerson class. Here's what I've done so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
